Not that he's letting that hold him back-for the most part,... BLIND DATING is a hilarious comedy about Danny (Chris Pine), an intelligent, confident, handsome young man who also happens to be blind. Not that he's letting that hold him back-for the most part, Danny refuses to let his visual impairment get in the way of anything. He's one of the most popular guys in town, and is even an ace at basketball. Which is why Danny's girl-crazy, limo-driving brother Larry (Eddie Kaye Thomas, AMERICAN PIE) is horrified to discover that Danny is not only shy and nervous when it comes to the opposite sex, he's also a virgin. Determined to help Danny have his first sexual experience, his brother Larry sets up a series of hysterically disastrous blind dates with shallow girls that can't seem to get past his sight impairment. Danny is all but ready to give up on love, until he meets a pretty young East Indian nurse named Leeza (Anjali Jay), who works at the office of his eye doctor. The two seem made for each other…until Leeza reveals that she has been promised to another man in an arranged marriage. Also starring Jane Seymour as Danny's psychologist (who has a penchant for disrobing during their sessions together), BLIND DATING is a warm and funny story about overcoming the cultural boundaries, physiological differences, and above all, finding true love. BLIND DATING stars Chris Pine (JUST MY LUCK), Eddie Kaye Thomas, Anjali Jay, Jane Seymour (WEDDING CRASHERS, WB's "Modern Men"), and Stephen Tobolowsky. The film is written by Christopher Theo and directed by James Keach (Producer, WALK THE LINE), executive produced by Jane Seymour and Steve Bickel and produced by Costa Theo, James Keach, Joy Mellins, and David Shanks. -- © IDP Distribution [More]

ambles along to no great effect but has a few chuckles along the way. No harm, no foul.

A forgettable slice of hackneyed romance.

The fact that Blind Dating provides a relationship between two characters whom the audience desperately wants to see wind up together is ultimately all that matters.

It's not preachy or weepy. Instead, it's a lively yet meaningful romantic comedy that doesn't lose sight of its central mission: to entertain.

Christopher Theo's script aims for American Pie raunch, which doesn't work in a watered-down PG-13 form.

I wouldn't even describe what Dating becomes as ambitious. It's just sloppy, and corrupts the comfortable level of mediocrity it made peace with early on.

There's actually a sweet little romantic comedy at the core of Blind Dating, fighting its way to get out of the cruder, crasser outer shell.

The chemistry between Leeza and Danny is the only saving grace of this messy film. It's almost as if the writers couldn't stand to just watch them sweetly fall in love.

A bad idea poorly executed...unfortunately, Blind Dating doesn't deserve to be seen.
